Physical Distribution Systems & Materials Handling Equipment
Materials handling machines
With the 100 year history, IHI's material handling machine has always led the technology.
From bulk handling systems, such as the unloaders used for efficient unloading at the ports, to various cranes, such as jib cranes and overhead travelling cranes with high economic efficiency by standardization, used in various industrial fields, IHI supplies vast variations from under 1 ton to few thousand tons, to match the customers' needs.
IHI is supporting diversifying need of materials handling machines with high technologies ranging from manufacturing of the products to maintenance and modifications.
Furthermore, IHI is Japan's leading manufacturer of materials handling equipment onboard the ships, such as deck cranes.
Continuous ship unloader
This unloader realizes continuous unloading from iron ore bulk carriers or coal bulk carriers.
IHI has delivered the world's largest continuous ship unloader with a capacity of 4,000 t/hour for iron ore carriers, and also has the world's top technologies and delivery record.
IHI also offers belt-type unloaders and pneumatic unloaders for various food and feed such as soybeans, wheat grains, and corns. Designs of unloaders will be adjusted to regional characteristics of delivery destinations. For example, the latest seismic isolating device will be used in the unloaders to be delivered to regions where anti-earthquake measures are required.

Logistics Systems
IHI is the pioneer in the field of material handling systems such as automated storage / retrieval systems, transportation systems, and sorting systems. IHI delivers a wide variety of facilities / equipment such as automated storage / retrieval systems for refrigeration and dangerous objects, and storage / transportation equipment operated in clean rooms to industries such as the food, logistics, and chemical industries.
Making the full use of its rich experience and know-how, IHI provides customers with “logistics solutions” that support the system as a whole.
Automated material handling system in clean room
Due to the recent technological advancement, demand for distribution systems to be used in clean rooms is growing steadily. IHI ensures to supply high quality, reliability, and efficient distribution systems, such as in FPD (flat panel display) glass substrate production lines.
Before carrying in of the product at site, IHI conducts product inspections such as trial assembly, trial runs, and dust emission tests in our own clean rooms; therefore, IHI can realize high reliability and allow production lines to start their operation quickly by shortening the construction period.
Automated storage / retrieval system
A wide ranging product line-up covering special environments such as freezer, clean, explosion proof, and special items such as dangerous objects, heavy items, long items and roll type objects will meet customer needs.
Sorting system “Zip Sorter”
This sorting system quickly sorts items of various sizes to meet various market needs such as sorting small lots for a large number of item types, handling of frequently distributed items, and handling of peak item volumes.
Automated guided vehicle “Factliner”
IHI offers a wide variety of automated transportation systems such as magnetic guided systems, laser guided systems, transportation systems with load transfer mechanisms, motor-driven systems, and charging-type systems. With such a rich line-up, IHI can suggest an Automated guided vehicle most suitable for individual customer needs.
Automated storage / retrieval system for dangerous objects
This Automated storage / retrieval system can store products, half-finished products, and raw materials that are categorized as class 2 and 4 dangerous objects. Through centralized management, the safety, storage efficiency, warehousing and shipping efficiency can be improved.
Automated storage / retrieval system for roll
Automated facilities such as this are meeting the growing demand from paper manufactures and newspaper companies.
Automated storage / retrieval system for long items / heavy items
This automated storage / retrieval system can handle long items of up to 5 m and heavy items of up to 10 tons. With this automatic warehouse, reduced storage space, faster shipping operations, and stock management accuracy can be improved.
